Today, I found an unfamiliar ring in my purse. Thinking it was fake, I gave it to a little girl. Thanks to my mother, I later found out that the ring was my grandmother's and it was made of gold and had a real ruby. My mother added that my grandmother trusted me to keep it in our family. FML

Today, my 8-year-old daughter came home from school, saying she had gotten engaged and was wearing a ring. It looked real. Later that night, I got a call saying that their son had given my daughter his grandma's engagement ring. My daughter actually said no to the engagement, but still took the ring, FML
Today, for my mom's birthday, I couldn't figure out what to get her, so I just took some of her jewelry, wrapped it up, and re-gifted it. She recognized it instantly. FML
Today, my 6 year-old granddaughter was sitting on my lap, playing with the rings on my fingers. After a moment, she pointed to a gold ring with many jewels and said, "When you die, can I have that one?" FML
Today, I realized my wedding ring was missing. Turns out, my son had taken it to give to a girl he likes in the second grade. FML
Today, I found out my mother-in-law sold a precious family heirloom and gambled away the money. FML
Today, in preparation for proposing to my girlfriend, I borrowed one of her rings so I could discreetly get her ring size. Not only have I now lost the ring, which turns out to be a keepsake from her dead grandmother, I still don't know her ring size. FML
Today, I came home to my mother-in-law wearing the gold chain which I usually keep in a hidden drawer. I searched my drawer only to find out my chain was missing. I asked my mother-in-law if she took it and she keeps denying the fact that she stole it from me. My husband is on her side. FML

Today, my almost-mother-in-law demanded I give my engagement ring back because it was originally her great-grandmother's, and she has now decided she wants it to go to her youngest son’s fiancée instead. My fiancé agreed and told me he’d just buy me another. He doesn’t get why I’m so upset either. FML

Why in heaven's name did somebody just stick it in your purse without telling you?

You probably should have at least checked with somebody before assuming it was fake

if i found something in my bag that wasnt mine, i would be asking people if they knew anything about it.before giving it away,hopefully you can get the ring back. just explain that its a family ring and you didnt know, and give the child a cheap ring in place of the other ring.

Why wouldn't you just put the ring aside and ask those who are/were around you and your purse recently whether or not they knew about the ring? Either way, I would have looked further into it before just giving it or throwing it away, just in case.

Ok, 1. Nobody decided to tell you they were gonna put an expensive ring in your purse? 2. Also, NVR assume its fake, hold on to it and ask around

Well maybe she should have told you earlier?

You know what happens when you assume....

considering you didn't know about it, I think it's almost fair that you gave it away. Your mother, or your grandmother (assuming she's still alive) should have told you the ring was there, and made you aware of its value.

this makes no sense. why would your mother stick it in your purse and not tell you. and didn't you wonder where it came from?
